was born to be a star.

The daughter of former Blue Peter presenter Janet could have enjoyed a lengthy career working with sticky-back plastic and washing-up liquid bottles - thankfully she came to her senses.

But that's not to say is a second-rate clone struggling to find her own identity, far from it.
The famous mum thing may have generated extra interest in the band, but they have always had more than enough talent to make it on their own. Now they're about to reap the rewards.
This eponymous debut is crammed with a bevy of bubbling pop songs, none better than the wonderfully-titled A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed, with its bulging bassline and hints of Toni Basil's Mickey.
